If I am to be president of my country I'll corrupt and corrupt and corrupt. I'll make my people suffer until they wish they never voted me. People here in my country never learn. Voting for same people who did nothing but owned everything. By making them suffer I think they'll start learning. That's a sacrifice Im willing to make.. -LOL- How bout you, if you are to be a leader what action would you do to solve your country's greatest problem?? Mind sharing your thoughts??

I am not joking. If I were the leader of my country, I will do something good for the people. I will try to get rid of the corrupt officers. Then the tax will be used for the people, especially in the education and health care fee. I am sad to see that children can't go to school because they can't afford it. Even they have to pay a lot when they go to school. Children are our future, so in this field I will pay much more money for it. I am also sad to see that the poor people can't go to the hospital even if they are serious ill. The hospital isn't an enterprise. They should try to cure people at first rather than try to get more money from the people. These are two main issues that I want to do when I am the leader of my country.

I agree with your clean intentions especially your care about the children but when it comes to getting rid of those corrupt "trapo's" (traditional politicians) I think it's impossible to do it by just few honest people. You see, what happens (especially here in my country) when an honest man is elected, his enemy's quickly initiate propagandas destroying his honest image. Majority of the people are can't filter which one is true and which is not especially when the issue is being televised. Most of the people here in my country believes what they see on tv. There is this saying here in my country that if you want to go into politics but don't want to get your hands dirtied by politics then you better go into politics already dirty. Thanks for your response youless :-) Have a nice day!
